Becoming a lead or supervisor – what skills do you need to manage your peers?

Moving into mid-level management

Senior management and elected officials

Plus the annual Young Professional Summit will be taking place as part of this symposium

Vision:

To lead the water industry in professional management and leadership development.

Mission:

To create resources to equitably develop, promote and retain successful leaders in the Pacific Northwest Section.

SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT

We are now accepting abstracts for the 2019 PNWS-AWWA Leadership Symposium, to be held September 26-27, 2019 at the Yakima Convention Center. The abstract window closes March 1, 2019.

We are developing the three tracks in Leadership that will be part of the symposium. The three tracks are:

• Intro to Management – Becoming a Lead or Supervisor
• Moving into Mid-Level Management
• Executive Leadership – General Managers and Officials

State agencies also use the information to assess content and speaker credentials when assigning Continuing Education Units (CEUs). We will contact authors selected for the program March 2019. At that time, we will ask authors to submit a Speaker Release Form.
